Hello, Stranger

Spring Break is over, *deep sigh*. We get so busy during the school year, that sometimes it feels like Ryan and I just kind of get used to not interacting a whole lot.

So much so that the first morning of break, when I glanced over the rim of my steaming coffee cup and saw my disheveled guy across from me, I gave a shocked little, "Oh, well hello! How are you?" 

He looked at me with the same mild surprise, and answered, "Not bad. Your hair got long."

Okay, so it's not actually that bad, but it sure was nice to spend some quality time together doing things that are not at all exciting unless you are living inside our lives.

The first thing we did was shop for trees at the greenhouse--an interesting time, I'll tell more about that later. We also got new furniture because the furniture we've been using was purchased when I was 13 years old...by my parents. Oh yes, it was time.

We also did some hiking with the dogs, and on the way I had to take a few pictures.

I love it when I look out the car window and see something unexpected, like this old truck sitting in front of an equally old-looking store front.

The dogs, however, were not as amused, and really just wanted to get to the mountains already.

And, of course, I got to make some jewelry.



These guys were so fun to make! I will be listing most of them on Etsy very shortly. 

Now, back to work. *sigh*
